What do you love about your life right now? When was the last time you focused on nurturing your spirit and what that means for you? In our busy lives we focus a great deal on building our careers, staying physically fit, and making sure that our day-to-day needs are met, but when was the last time you thought about taking care of your spirit?
These are several of the questions we focused on in the recent SHAPE presentation, talking about how focusing on our spiritual lives can help us to thrive. One of the best ways to make this happen is by connecting with Saint. Luke, its members, and helping to build the people foundation that is the church. Saint Luke’s volunteer assessment, SHAPE, can help each of us discern where we might find a good fit for our interests, values, skills, and aptitudes.
Each of us has God-given talents and interests, and when we use these to support the work of the church it enhances our lives and the lives of those around us. Through prayer, attending worship, and connecting with others at St. Luke, we can find our place and contribute to the life of the church.
If you have questions about volunteering at Saint Luke, and finding your place here, please email Fran Arvan or say hello to her at worship.
